    These folks are the best. Such a core part of the sport and they are pure dedicated to living the dream. Hats off to all of you, its awesome what you do, keep doing it. I love DH bikes!
  • Wynn needs to go give that first guy a spot on the privateer project for the weekend.
  • @Nick-pq6ij
    I love seeing Pinkbike, Wynn etc giving airtime and acknowledgment to privateers. You guys do so much more for the sport than UCI...

    These privateers getting by with what they can and how they can are legends! More of this please! As the owner of a frankenbike myself, Shigura brakes, SRAM drivetrain, Galfer rotors. I would love to see someone on the worldcup with Shigura brakes ;) .. The lever feel of Shimano, minus the on/off, but with the stopping power & modulation of Magura. Actually the different piston design in the lever & the pistons in the caliper combine magically somehow to make a much more powerful brake than either of the 2 as factory. And a Magura MT5 setup is much cheaper than a Saint setup, or even a shitty CodeR.. but when you break a Magura leaver, the biggest drawback of Magura, an XT or XTR lever body is cheaper. So you combine the 2, & you not only save money but you get Trickstuff level performance for a third of the price! Combine that with Galfer rotors & you have a winning brake setup.. Sponsored team riders cant do this, but it would be so dope to see a privateer on it.. Any Shigura riders out there would know what im talking about ;)

    Ohlins just turns Pieter away? What a sales pitch of support services.

    My first thought was that the first fellow's bike was too small for him- surprised to hear it's an extra large!
  • @teamdoa
    Commencal seems popular as a privateer bike.
  • @MightyFireL
    This video is awesome. The ending is so brutal, I wanted to hear more about other lads!

    5:18 Revolution grips ! The best in the game by a long margin. I ride it since years now, and let me tell you, once you try it, you don't want to ride without it! The ultimate solution to armpump !
